Technical Program Manager III

DESCRIPTION

Amazon is all-in on games, and our mission is to be the most customer-obsessed company in the games industry. At Amazon Game Studios, we’re creating compelling games like New World, a sandbox MMO set on a supernatural continent in the 17th century, our multiplayer shooter Crucible, and our newly announced The Lord of the Rings MMO. Amazon Games is also delivering great game benefits to Prime members each month via Twitch Prime, and providing game developers of all sizes with the tools they need to succeed with Amazon Game Tech.

We believe games are about community. Today, the communities that started in arcades, a quarter at a time, have evolved into Twitch streams with millions of viewers, and friendships first formed in-game that extend across continents. In this role, you’ll dive deep into the gaming community and help create new experiences and opportunities for connection.

We are looking for a seasoned Technical Program Manager with a strong background in building and operating large scale services. As a TPM in an advanced technology group, you will be a creative problem solver who is obsessed with building revolutionary AWS services from the ground up, partnering with stakeholders and engineers to deliver the best customer experience. You will be expected to work across teams, gather requirements, influence roadmap priorities, product feature decisions, and engineering process. Successful candidates will have a track record of shipping services, understand design approaches and requirements within the games technical domain and be able to spot risks and ask the right questions. This candidate will excel at communication, leadership, and customer focus. If you have these traits and are excited about making a big impact in the game industry, we're looking for you!

Please note: This role could sit in either the San Francisco Bay Area or Seattle.
